THE BEssRMER steel manufacturers OF
this country have such good thing by rea-
SON of the protective tariff that they are
combining to purchase all the Bsssemer
ores in the Lake Superior region. The tar
if not only raises the price of every thing
transported over railroads laid with Besse-
mer steel rails, by enabling the mannfactu-
rers of such rails to increase the cost there
of, but also necessarily reduces the demand
for and the price of American labor, by stop
ping the importation of Bessemer ores. and
thereby restricting the manufacture of Bes.
semer steel.

who follow the seif-interested teachings OF
Mr.. Randall, will not derive much gratifi'
cation from the platform adopted yesterday
by the democrats of Ohio, in Slate conven-

declared that, I'VE denounce any attempt
to abolish the lax on liquors for the purpose
of keeping up the present unjust, unequal
and onerous tariff system" 1t is the tax
on the prime necessares of life, not on the

former tax that all true democrats should
strive for rs that object is in accordance

In Memory ot
MARY J. CARLlNE.

The first date represents the year OF
Mrs Cnrline'5 birth, the latter the year Of
her death.
Miss Ella Bennett, ia granddaughter Of
Mrs. Carline. She spent several years in
Fredericksburg, where she attracted con
siderable attention on account of her beauty
and wealth and because Of her relationship
to Mrs. Carline.
Recently Miss Bennett has figured in a
udicrous affair in London, an account Of
which we copy from late issue of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, which will be read with
interest by readers of the Lance, and espec-
aliy by those who were acquainted with
Miss Bennett while visiting here.
New YORK, July H.
The SIN tomorrow will publish special
cable from London giving the details OF
collision between men of noble blood, with
Mrs. Frank Leslie as the cause. She is
frequent visitor of Europe, and on her return
from her last trip she was followed TO this
country by Marquis De Leuvile, who was
madly in love with either her, her fortune,
or both. The man was so persistent that
she about half consented to marriage. Her
friends objected so strongly that the match
was broken Off Mrs. Leslie is again in
Europe, and is acting as chaperone to Miss
Bennett, lovely young American girl.
Mrs Leslie and her charge are occupying
an elegant suit of rooms in the Albert Mau
sion, near Victoria street, in London. Re-
Gently Prince Eristoil, a nobleman Of
wealth, has been laying siege to Americas
noted woman publisher, and has engaged
apartments on the same floor in the Albert
Mansion, and has continued his devoted at
tentions On Friday Mrs. Leslie, Miss
Bennett and the Russian Prince went for a
drive in Hyde Park. Gathering behind
them came pair of iron-grays, driven by
the rejected Marquis, who looked
curious picture with his powdered face,
padded shoulders, pinched waist and
high. heeled ahoes He drove past Mrs.
Leslie's carriage and saluted, receiving from
all its occupants an acknowledgment. the
Prince sneering as he raised his hat Later
on the Marquis, coming from new drec.
ton, drove up beside the Leslie broughatn,
and, reversing his whip, gave the Prince a
blow across the face with the butt end OF it.
The Prince took the insult without muir
muir, although the Marquis continued beside
the carriage grinning at his rival. In the
evening the Prince packed up and left the
city. 1t gives the affair ludicrous phase
since it came out to day that the Prince was
not in any sense rival, for he was smiIten
with Miss Bennett.

SOME OF the new issue repudiators of the
State debt found their present support OF
reputation upon the ground that to pay the
debt would be, as stated by the Richmond
Dispatch, to impoversh theState by sending
beyond the seas every year million dollars
or more. If The State be honest enough to
return the money shc borrowed, it should
make no difference to her whether her cred
itors live on this or the other side of the seas.
When she borrowed the money she pre-
ferred none of her creditors. But as those
from abroad lent hor their money with more
alscrity than those at home, and in greater
amount. and are strangers, it would not be
at all unnatural for her to prefer, rather than
to exclude them, as she is attempting to do.

about his views on the subject of extend
ing the scope of the present extradition
treaty between the United States and

mentioned in the existing treaties. He
thinks the list could well be extended. to
other crimes, among them burglary, ems
bezzlement, and fraudulent bankruptcy.
The chief high commissioners list seems
to be a pretty long one, as it would in,

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 13.-For the past six

promptly fortified himself in his dugout,

Here the sheriff came up with the desper-

WHAT congress now owes TO the people
is to reduce taxation to the amount nee
essary to cover the expenses of an ecoN
nomical operation of the government and
to restore to the business OF the country
the money held in the treasury through
perversion of the governments powers.
Both of the great political parties have
repeatedly condemned the present condi-
ton of our fiscal laws and promised Their
correction. These pledges can now be
redeemed with safety to all our industries
without danger of reducing the rewards
of labor and to the great advantage OF
the whole people. These courageous
recommendations the president makes
from conviction. They are also in ac>
cordance with the traditional tenets of
his party, and should have the effect of
rallying to his support during the pres
ent session ever friend OF the people
who oppose trusts, pools and other com
binations of producers to enhance the
price of commodities consumed by the
whole people.
